Symptoms

There is no sound at all when playing the game. The game does not show up in pavucontrol or other sound managing programs at all. Ingame sound is turned up to full. Starting Steam and the game via command line, the following line is probably indicative of the problem:

"Warning: Couldn't initialize SDL Audio: Audio target 'pulse' not available"

My system does use Pulseaudio. Other applications and SDL games can output sound without issue. Tried to `export

SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa` beforehand, but I get the same error message, but with alsa instead of pulse.

Reproduction

Start the game.
